Social networking site Nextdoor has launched an ‘events map’ to help Brits find local events during the Queen‘s Platinum Jubilee.
The Jubilee Events Map, which is available to view on Nextdoor’s website, marks out lunches, street parties and garden parties happening in the UK this long weekend.
Through the map, users can enter their postcode to see what’s on in their local area, and also create and promote their own Jubilee events.

Nextdoor is a San Francisco-based social networking company that’s focused on connecting neighbourhoods.
Its specially-created Jubilee Events Map will be live through until the end of August 2022, according to the firm.
‘Nextdoor is a great place to not only meet your neighbours, but by hosting or joining a Jubilee Big Lunch in your area, is also an easy way to break the ice,’ said Roisin O’Neil, head of community UK at Nextdoor.
‘There’s no better time to come together with your local community and celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.’
Nextdoor’s Jubilee map is part of a partnership with the Eden Project’s Big Lunch, the UK’s biggest annual get-together for neighbours.
This year, the Big Lunch occurs this weekend to coincide with the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations.
On the Jubilee map, parties are marked as a blue pin, while lunches are marked by a purple pin with a small crown.
Although many of the Jubilee lunches take place on Sunday, others across the UK are happening on Friday and Saturday too.
Nextdoor says the the Jubilee ‘is the perfect chance to rekindle old friendships and make some new ones’.

‘It all starts with an invitation – so add your Big Jubilee Lunch or Jubilee celebration onto our map today and join your neighbours on Nextdoor,’ its website says.
The social networking site also has an app that lets neighbors communicate with each other, organise local events and share information about what’s happening in their community.
Upon downloading the Nextdoor app, users register their postcode, which links them with a surrounding neighbourhood.
Once joined, Nextdoor members will see prompts to turn conversation threads with other members into groups for other users to join.
This is designed to make it easier for users to bring local communities together with very few clicks.
